Dr. Carmel C. Shaw-Nieves, MD

"I was seeing her for anxiety and depression. Horrible physician. Should not be working living people. Clinician clearly approaches patients with bias. Clinician lacks focus. She asked me what medication I was on so I began to recite a list. She then interrupted and corrected me saying that she had asked specifically what anti-depressants I was on. That was an absolute fallacy. I heard her question the first time and tried to answer it. She became agitated because I did not know what medication I had taken that was an anti-depressant. I told her I had no idea what med was an anti-depressant and what wasn't. I told her I could just recite the meds I remembered and she could identify which were anti-depressants. How am I supposed to know what medication serves what purpose? Does everyone know the exact purpose of every medication they've ever taken? I don't think so. I can understand knowing your current medication but knowing all the meds you've taken in 12 years (which was what she was asking) is a ridiculous ask. So she documents that I didn't answer her questions. She then labels me with a diagnosis that really requires more than one session, certainly a deeper familiarity and understanding of my past medical history and certainly additional testing. It's fine. She's earned herself a complaint against her with the state board, my insurance company and the hospital she practices at. I was a clinician for 15 years. This woman is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Don't trust her. Ohio is a one party consent state so use that. RECORD ANY COMMUNICATION WITH HER. YOU WILL NEED IT"

"Been going here for years great and caring staff and doctor"

"Not a very good place to go in my opinion. You have been warned. Im not an addict, and She is all out for her own best interests."

"She will happily accept ur hard earned money...& throw ya to the wolves wen u screw up ONCE...THAT was MY experience... I went to her for probly 7+ yrs..hadnt been dirty since 1st cpl months...spent THOUSANDS of dollars..i have 1 dirty MOUTH SWAB..i get kicked out..EVEN THO HER OWN COUNSELORS WILL TELL U "RELAPSE IS PART OF RECOVERY"... She'll play the role of caring doc..wen it suits her..cuz when she feels like it..she'll put u rite back out in cold to suffer.. Hippocratic oath? LMAO. She's no better than the doc who made me dependant on pain meds & kicked me to curb.. ALSO..u r xpected go to like 5 meetings per wk..on top of her own counselors.. Not a simple task for hard workin people,who work 12+ hrs per day.. She's making a fortune off people classified as "addicts"..for watever reason..then acts surprised & kicks em out for relapse? KNOWIN DAM WELL WAT THEY R GONNA GO THRU.. I told her "nurse" i wanted come talk to doc...told me they'd call cops if i did? I was her patient for almost a DECADE for God's sake. Do not expect mercy or compassion there.."

"She is an amazing person. I saw her even she worked for another place. Unfortunately, I've called twice to try and get in to see her and have been told she's not taking about patients. I asked about getting on a waiting list and was told there isn't one. I personally think she's the best this Valley, but it's beyond rude how her staff tells you that you can't see her and they don't care to help you any further. For all they know, I was suicidal with a gun to my head."
